What's New?

Please do not pollute the Pond!
On Sunday 4 May a whole cut loaf of bread was thrown into the pond. Maybe someone thought they were being kind to the ducks! However the ducks do not eat all the bread, which then sinks and pollutes the water, it is also not a good food for ducks or fishes.

If you want to feed the ducks with the kids (and who doesn’t?) throw small pieces into the tarmac not into the water and better still use grain – it is planned to offer proper duck food in the local shops in the near future. For further advice please contact Carol Ledgard on 632 178
